Simple and cheerful home maker from India. I have three children. Two of them are married. I have two grandchildren. I like cooking. I do not like frivolous talk. I rather like deep and meaningful conversation. I do not postpone what I have to do. I take one day at a time and live it as if it is my last day. My Daily Sadhana are chanting, prayers and recitation of holy verses:- 1. CHANTING 16 ROUNDS HARE KRISHNA MANTRA. 2. THREE PRAYERS TO SHRIMATI RADHARANI. 3. ELEVEN OM PRAYERS FROM SHRIMAD BHAGAVATAM. 4. TWELVE NAMES OF LORD CHAITANYA. 5. TWELVE NAMES OF NITYANANDA PRABHU. 6. EIGHT PRAYERS TO GURUDEVA-THE GURVASTAKAM PRAYERS. 7.

SIX PRAYERS FROM SHRI BRAHMA SAMHITA. 12. 30 VERSES FROM SHRI RADHA SAHASRA NAMA STOTRA. 13.

Krishna Katha- Morning Prayers. 19. Krishna Katha- Evening Prayers. My favourite book at this time of life is Sri Radha Sahasra Nama Stotra. As for cooking, I have accumulated 5 very good cook books over the years. 1. Vegetarian Cooking by Kurma Dasa. 2. The Art of Indian Vegetarian Cooking by Yamuna devi. 3. Great Vegetarian Dishes by kurma Dasa. 4. The Hare Krishna Book of Vegetarian Cooking by Adiraja Dasa. 5. Vegetarian World Food by Kurma Dasa. MESSAGE: If you wish, you can print out the prayers that I have added on Iskcon Desire Tree Network.Then cut them out nicely with their translations and attach them to a note book. You can also add pictures to them. So then you have all of them in one book, your prayer book, and read them in the Brahma muhurta hour, or any time during the day if you cannot read them early morning.

I respect all devotess and their spiritual masters.

in Kṛṣṇa consciousness,
means to understand Kṛṣṇa.
Simply by understanding
and acting accordingly,
we can purify our existence.
and go back home,
back to Godhead.
As there is national consciousness,
community consciousness,
family consciousness,
so many other consciousness,
similarly, Kṛṣṇa consciousness
means that we agree to work
for the satisfaction of Kṛṣṇa.
This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
This is oneness.
to give some service to Kṛṣṇa.
We should stick to that service,
that path, in spite of all impediments.
Faith means kṛṣṇe bhakti,
Faith means unflinching faith
without any deviation,
with full understanding.
In any circumstances,
the faith is not withdrawn.
That is firm faith.
of a devotee who approaches Him
with such motives,
but He does not bestow benedictions
upon the devotee that will cause him
to demand more benedictions again.
However, Krsna willingly gives the devotee
shelter at His own lotus feet,
even though such a person
does not aspire for it,
and that shelter satisfies all his desires.
This is the Krsna`s special mercy.
The word discipline comes from disciple,
or disciple comes from discipline.
So unless there is discipline,
there is no question of disciple.
Disciple means one who observes discipline.
If one does not observe discipline,
then he is not a disciple.
And one who is not a disciple,
his life is chaotic. He cannot be happy.
A disciple means who voluntarily agrees to
be disciplined by the spiritual master.
When one becomes disciple,
he cannot disobey the order of the spiritual master.
To become disciple means to surrender,
voluntarily accepting the instruction,
the advice, the order of the spiritual master.
one is subjected to the influence
of the mind and the senses.
In fact, the pure soul is
entangled in the material world
because the mind is involved
with the false ego,
which desires to
lord it over material nature.
Therefore, the mind
should be trained so that
it will not be attracted
by the glitter of material nature,
and in this way
the conditioned soul
may be saved.
One should not degrade oneself
by attraction to sense objects.
The more one is attracted
by sense objects,
the more one becomes
entangled in material existence.
The best way
to disentangle oneself
is to always engage
the mind in Krsna consciousness.
from envy or pride,
aversion or attachment
to sense gratification,
or foolishness or self-pride.
Quarrelsome people also become
intoxicated by useless arguments.
While discussing topics of Lord Krishna
and His devotees
the practising devotee
should always be careful
to avoid useless arguments.
not be anxious to have the satisfaction
of being honoured by others.
The material conception of life
makes us very eager to receive
honour from others,
but from the point of view
of a man in perfect knowledge-
who knows that he is not this body-
anything, honour or dishonour,
pertaining to this body is useless.
One should not be hankering
after this material deception.
I did not answere him.
I directly lodged a complain to Nrisringhadeva.
After 7 days he had been transfered to another branch and now my application has been sanctiond.
